The Government will not assume the offeror possesses any capability, understanding, or commitment not specified in its proposal. It is an offeror's responsibility to submit a well-written proposal with adequately detailed information which clearly demonstrates an understanding of and the ability to comply with the RFP requirements to allow for a meaningful evaluation. The Government does not assume the duty to search for data to cure problems it finds in proposals.

PIIN/SIIN MOD/AMD

Proposals must be delivered to the Detroit Arsenal (DTA) Mail Handling Facility (Building 255) between the hours of 8:00AM and 1:00PM local Warren, MI time. The package(s) will be dated and time stamped at the Mail Handling Facility and the Government will be responsible for forwarding the package(s) to the appropriate personnel. Offerors should ensure that any commercial carrier it uses has a tracking system that can provide documentation that will prove the date and time of delivery to the Government. If the proposal is hand-carried by other than a commercial carrier, the delivery person (even if an employee of the offeror) must be a US citizen, and must obtain a signed receipt, indicating date and time of delivery, from the Mail Handling Facility personnel. The delivery person must provide the receipt since the Mail Handling Facility personnel do not have them.

*Directions to DTA: From Van Dyke Avenue, travel west on East Eleven Mile road to railroad track. Immediately after crossing railroad track turn right into DTA main gate and follow security officer directions to the Mail Handling Facility (Building 255). It may be necessary for the delivery person to obtain a visitors badge prior to being allowed to enter the installation. If so, the security officer will advise the delivery person of the procedures to follow.

L.2.2.4.1 Exterior envelopes must identify the solicitation number and date specified for receipt of proposals.

L.2.2.4.2 Offerors are cautioned that approval to enter the installation must be obtained prior to the closing date and time for receipt of proposals. Due to security procedures, delays are probable at the entry point and offerors must plan to accommodate them. It is the offerors responsibility to plan sufficient time to clear Detroit Arsenal security and ensure proposals reach the intended destination.

L.2.2.5 Proposal Modifications vs Proposal Revisions.

Proposal modification is a change made to a proposal before the solicitations closing date and time, or made in response to an amendment, or made to correct a mistake at any time before award.

Proposal revision is a change to a proposal made after the solicitation closing date, at the request of or as allowed by a Procuring

Contracting Officer (PCO) as the result of negotiations.

L.2.2.5.1 Offerors may submit proposal modifications at any time before the solicitation closing date and time and as permitted by the

Federal Acquisition Regulations.

L.2.2.5.2 Offerors may submit proposal revisions only if requested or allowed by the Contracting Officer.

L.2.3 Single Proposal Submission

Offerors are limited to submitting one proposal with one approach to meeting all the requirements of this solicitation. Proposals that contain alternative terms and conditions will be considered as taking exception to the requirements of the solicitation. See Section

M.2.

L.2.4 Organizational Conflict of Interest

L.2.4.1 The provisions of FAR 9.5, Organizational Conflict of Interest (OCI), apply to any award under this Request for Proposal (RFP).

Potential offerors should review their current and planned participation in any other Government contracts, subcontracts, consulting, or teaming arrangements where they may be in a position of actual or perceived bias or unfair competitive advantage.

L.2.4.2 Offerors shall disclose any potential OCI situations to the PCO as soon as identified including prior to proposal submission.

The disclosure should include the facts and an analysis of the actual or perceived conflict and a recommended approach(s) to neutralize or mitigate the potential conflict. The preferred approach to potential conflicts is to negate/obviate the conflict. Mitigation is considered only if it is not practical to negate/obviate the conflict. The PCO will promptly respond to resolve any potential conflicts.

L.2.5 Restriction On Disclosure and Use of Data.

Offerors that include in their proposals data that they do not want disclosed to the public for any purpose, or used by the Government except for evaluation purposes, shall:

L.2.5.1 Mark the title page with the following legend:

This proposal includes data that shall not be disclosed outside the Government and shall not be duplicated, used, or disclosed -- in whole or in part -- for any purpose other than to evaluate this proposal. If, however, a contract is awarded to this offeror as a result of -- or in connection with -- the submission of this data, the Government shall have the right to duplicate, use, or disclose the data to the extent provided in the resulting contract. This restriction does not limit the Governments right to use information contained in this data if it is obtained from another source without restriction. The data subject to this restriction are contained in sheets [insert numbers or other identification of sheets]; and

L.2.5.2 Mark each sheet of data with the following legend:

Use or disclosure of data contained on this sheet is subject to the restriction on the title page of this proposal.

L.3 All or None

Offers in response to this solicitation must be submitted for all the requirements identified in the solicitation. Offers submitted for less than all the requirements called for by this solicitation may be rejected or ineligible for award.

L.4 Evaluation Factors

6 13

Name of Offeror or Contractor:

PIIN/SIIN MOD/AMD

Offeror proposals shall address the following two Factors:

a. Past Performance Factor

b. Price Factor

L.4.1 Volume I Past Performance

For the Past Performance Factor, the offeror shall provide information for a total of up to three Recent and Relevant Contracts performed by the offeror as the prime contractor. These contracts may include foreign, federal, state, local and private industry contracts. It is the offeror's responsibility to submit detailed and complete proposal information so the Government may evaluate its

Past Performance volume. The Government does not assume the duty to search for data to cure problems it finds in proposals. While the

Government may elect to consider data obtained from internal and external sources other than the proposal, the burden to provide thorough and complete past performance information rests with the offeror. The below instructions are provided to advise offerors as to the information required by the Government to assess the contractor's Recent and Relevant past performance. Since this information constitutes a basis of the Government's review, it is imperative that the offeror present its past performance in a clear and complete manner. Failure to provide the information requested under paragraph L.4.1.3 and L.4.1.5 (if applicable) below may result in an assessment that the offeror does not possess a record of Recent and Relevant past performance.

For the purpose of this volume, a Contract is defined as a written instrument that requires the offeror to perform a distinct effort and it demonstrates the distinct effort was actually performed. Written instruments such as Indefinite-Delivery Contracts (FAR 16.5, Basic Ordering Agreement (BOA), Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA), and Federal Supply Schedule (FSS), and other broad ordering instruments generally do not demonstrate the distinct effort was actually performed, and would therefore not be considered to meet the definition of a Contract. However, the Government may consider a broad ordering instrument's statement of work or other requirements definition documents in the evaluation to assess the relevancy of the work actually performed on an executed subordinate written instrument (e.g. task/delivery order, work directive, technical instrument) determined to be a Contract. A task or delivery order executed under a broad instrument may be considered to be a Contract if it meets the definition above; task or delivery orders that function like a broad instrument (such as executing written instruments like work directives, technical instructions, etc to perform effort) generally do not demonstrate a distinct effort that was actually performed, and thus would not meet the definition of a

Contract.

L.4.1.1 Recent Contracts are those performed within three years of the date of issuance of this RFP.

L.4.1.2 Relevant Past Performance will consider the extent to which submitted contract efforts are comparable in scope, magnitude of effort and complexity to the following statement of work requirements:

(a) Build a hardware item to a production level TDP consisting of 275 drawings and requiring the following types of work performance:

(i) Structural steel metal fabrication and assembly;

(ii) Hydraulic equipment manufacturing and assembly; and

(iii) Harness fabrication and electronic component fabrication and assembly

(b) Deliver a hardware item as described in L.4.1.2 (a) at a rate of 10 units per month.

L.4.1.3 Contract Information: For each Contract(s) submitted, provide the following information:

(a) Contractor name and address who performed Contract;

(b) Contract Number (and delivery/task order number if applicable);

(c) Contract Type;

(d) Total Value of the Contract (beginning & ending value);

(e) Delivery or Performance Schedule;

(f) Government or private industry contracting activity address, telephone number and e-mail;

(g) Procuring Contracting Officer's (PCO) or Contract Specialist's name, or point of contact for private industry entity responsible for signing or administering the Contract, telephone number and e-mail;

(h) Government (DCMA) or private industry administrative contracting officer (ACO), contracting officer's representative (COR), performance certifier, or quality assurance representative (QAR), name, telephone number and email;

(i) Specify the Government or Contractor Point(s) of Contact for which the Questionnaire was sent, and provide the date(s) it was sent.

(j) A description of the work performed by the offeror, which shall include a narrative describing the similarities between (1)

7 13

Name of Offeror or Contractor:

PIIN/SIIN MOD/AMD

the relevant work performed under the statement of work requirements of the offerors cited Contract(s) and (2) the statement of work requirements identified in L.4.1.2. In its narrative, the offeror shall specify the location in the cited Contracts statement of work (to include paragraph and page number) that substantiates the relevant work performed;

(k) Contract period of performance;

(l) Provide a brief self-assessment of Contract performance. The self-assessment must address performance to meet Technical, and Schedule requirements and

(m) Copy of the Performance Work Statement or Scope of Work for each of the submitted Contracts. If details of the requirements or contractual standards of the performed effort are further defined elsewhere in the Contract, or defined under a broader instrument's scope of work that the contract is executed against, the offeror may also provide that information to establish relevancy of the Contract to the scope of work activity listed in L.4.1.2 above (These documents can be submitted as stand-alone attachments within the proposal volume).

L.4.1.4 Associated Entity, Predecessor Company, and Joint Venture. Only Contracts performed by the named offeror will be considered unless the Contract was performed by an associated entity, a predecessor company, or if the offeror is a joint venture.

i. Associated Entity. The Government may consider the past performance of an associated entity if the offeror successfully demonstrates meaningful involvement by the associated entity in the proposed effort.

a. An associated entity may include a parent company, separate corporate division within the same parent company, subsidiary company, a legally affiliated company, etc. The offeror shall provide to the Government a narrative that explains the offerors relationship to the associated entity. The offeror shall support the narrative with legal documentation, including but not limited to corporate papers, establishing the legal nexus between the offeror and the associated entity.

b. The offeror shall provide to the Government a narrative that explains the meaningful involvement the associated entity will provide to the proposed effort. Evidence of meaningful involvement may include a description of the associated entitys resources, such as its workforce, facilities, and/or other resources that will be provided or relied upon in the proposed effort. A Contract will not be considered unless the offeror successfully establishes meaningful involvement by the associated entity in the proposed effort.

ii. Predecessor Company. The Government may consider the past performance of a predecessor company if the offeror demonstrates the experience of the predecessor company is reasonably predictive of the offerors performance under the proposed effort.

a. A predecessor company may include a company which was acquired by the offeror or merged with the offeror. It may also include other instances where the predecessor company was reorganized, restructured, or otherwise altered. A predecessor company does not include an entity which remains separate and distinct from the offeror.

The offeror shall provide to the Government a narrative that explains the offerors relationship to the predecessor company. The offeror shall support the narrative with documentation evidencing the offerors status as the successor company.

b. The offeror shall provide to the Government a narrative that explains why the predecessors past performance is predictive of the offerors performance under the proposed effort. Evidence may include, but is not limited to, continuity of operations such as the continued employment of the predecessors employees and the transfer of assets including buildings, furnishings, and fixtures.

iii. Individual Partners of a Joint Venture. If the offeror is a Joint Venture, the Government may consider past performance of each partner of the Joint Venture and any work performed by the Joint Venture itself previously. The offeror must successfully demonstrate meaningful involvement by the partner to the proposed effort.

a. The offeror shall provide to the Government a narrative that discloses the individual partners of the Joint

Venture and shall provide documentation evidencing the Joint Venture.

b. The offeror shall provide to the Government a narrative that explains the meaningful involvement the Joint

Venture partner will provide to the proposed effort. Evidence of meaningful involvement may include a description of the partners resources, such as its workforce, facilities, and/or other resources that will be provided or relied upon in the proposed effort. A contract will not be considered unless the offeror successfully establishes meaningful involvement by the partner in the proposed effort.

L.4.1.5 Past Performance Questionnaire. A past performance questionnaire is provided in Attachment 0012-EHP Roller Production Past

Performance Questionnaire. For each contract submitted by the offeror, the offeror shall send a copy of the past performance questionnaire directly to the appropriate PCO, COR, other appropriate technical representative or contracting individual. The offeror shall request that these individuals complete the questionnaire and forward it electronically directly to the Government Point of

Contact, Tom Morrow at Winslow.t.morrow.civ@mail.mil as soon as possible and prior to the RFP closing date (See Block #9 of the SF33 cover page to this solicitation) with the subject heading PAST PERFORMANCE INFORMATION FOR [Offeror name].

SECTION M - EVALUATION FACTORS FOR AWARD

EVALUATION FACTORS FOR AWARD

M.1 Basis of Award

M.1.1 GENERAL The Government plans to award a Firm-Fixed-Price contract for the EHP Roller Production as a result of this solicitation.

The Government may choose not to award a contract if such action is in the Governments best interest.

M.1.1.1 There are two evaluation factors:

a. Past Performance Factor

b. Price Factor

The relative order of importance of these Factors are described in Section M.4 below.

M.1.1.2 It is the Governments intent to award one contract. Award will be made using the Trade Off source selection process IAW FAR

15.101-1-Tradeoff Process, which states award will be made to other than the lowest priced offeror or other than the highest technically rated offeror that is eligible for award. The Government will follow the source selection process set forth in Section M.3 below.

M.1.1.3 Importance of Price. Award will be made to the offeror whose proposal (1) is otherwise eligible for award. This may not be the offeror with the lowest evaluated Price Factor. However, the closer the Offeror's evaluations are to each other in those Factors other than the Price Factor, the more important the Price Factor becomes in the decision. Notwithstanding the relative order of importance of the two evaluation Factors stated herein, price may be controlling when:

(a) Proposals are otherwise considered approximately equal in non-price factors; or

(b) The advantages of a higher rated, higher priced proposal are not considered to be worth the price premium.

M.1.2 Eligibility for Award. Award will only be made to an offeror who is eligible for award. To be eligible for award:

a. The offeror must be registered in System for Award Management (SAM) (see provision 52.204-7); and must be a self-certified U.S. Small

Business concern as defined by:

(1) in FAR 19.001-Definitions and

(2) by the criteria and size standards in FAR 19.102-Size Standards for North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code

336992 in the SAM database; and

b. The offeror must be determined responsible (See Section M.3.5); and

c. The proposal must not contain a Deficiency(s) (per FAR Part 15.001-Definitions

d. The offeror must be approved for CUI data access through FedBizOpps.

M.2 REJECTION OF OFFERS

M.2.1 The Government may reject any proposal if doing so is in the Government's best interest at any time after receipt of proposals.

Examples include, but are not limited to, the following proposal conditions:

a. The proposal fails to meaningfully respond to the instructions in Section L of this solicitation (i.e. a proposal provides some data, but omits significant material data and information required by Section L, fails to follow key proposal instructions or format requirements in Section L); or

b. When a proposal merely offers to perform work according to the RFP terms or fails to present more than a statement indicating its capability to comply with the RFP terms and does not provide support and elaboration as specified in Section L of this solicitation.

c. The proposal proposes exceptions to the solicitation requirements, attachments, exhibits, enclosures, or solicitation terms and conditions; or

d. The proposal contains one or more OCIs that cannot be avoided or mitigated. Refer to Section L.3 of this solicitation, "Organizational Conflict of Interest."; or

e. The proposal is unbalanced as to price. See Section M.4.2; or

f. The proposals acceptance period does not meet the Governments required minimum acceptance period (Refer to Section L.1.2); or

g. The proposal is not in English (American Standard) or in US Dollars; or

h. A proposal submitted for less than all the requirements called for by this solicitation; or

i. A proposal is submitted by an offeror that has not been approved for CUI access through FedBizOpps; or

j. There is evidence an offeror approved for CUI access has released the CUI outside of its organization without obtaining appropriate

Government approval.

M.3 Source Selection Process.

M.3.1 Compliance Review. After receipt of proposals, but prior to the evaluation process, the Government will perform a compliance review of the offeror's proposal to determine the extent of compliance to the solicitation instructions, and whether the proposal meets any of the conditions listed in M.2, Rejection of Offerors.

M.3.2 Evaluation Process. Evaluated proposals which are eligible for award will be subject to the Source Selection Trade-off process, considering both the evaluation factors and their relative order of importance as cited in Section M.4, to identify the proposal which represents the best value to the Government. The Government will weigh the evaluated proposals (other than the Price Factor) against the

11 13

Name of Offeror or Contractor:

PIIN/SIIN MOD/AMD

total evaluated price to the Government. As part of the best value determination, the relative strengths and weaknesses of each offeror's proposal shall be considered, as specified below, in addition to the other evaluation methods described below. Selection of the successful offeror shall be made following an assessment of each proposal, based on the response to the information requested in

Section L of this solicitation and against the solicitation requirements and the evaluation criteria described in Section M.

M.3.3 Source Selection Authority (SSA). The SSA is the official designated to direct the source selection process and select the offeror for contract award.

M.3.4 Source Selection Evaluation Board (SSEB). An SSEB has been established by the Government to evaluate proposals in response to this solicitation. The SSEB is comprised of technically qualified individuals who have been selected to conduct this evaluation in accordance with the evaluation criteria for this solicitation. Careful, full and impartial consideration will be given to the evaluation of all proposals received pursuant to this solicitation.

M.3.5 Award without Discussions: This RFP includes FAR Provision 52.215-1- Instructions to Offerors Competitive Acquisition in Section L which advises offerors that the Government intends to make award without conducting discussions. Where awards will be made without discussions, exchanges with offerors are limited to Clarifications as defined in FAR 15.306(a)-Exchanges with Offerors After Receipt of

Proposals. Therefore, the offerors initial proposal should contain the offerors best terms from a Price and non-Price Factor standpoint.

However, under FAR 52.215-1(f)(4)- Instructions to Offerors-- Competitive Acquisition, the Government reserves the right to hold discussions, if necessary. If the PCO determines that the number of proposals that would otherwise be in the competitive range exceeds the number at which an efficient competition can be conducted, the PCO may limit the number of proposals in the competitive range to the greatest number that will permit an efficient competition among the most highly rated proposals.

M.3.6 Determination of Responsibility. Per FAR 9.103-Contractor Qualifications-Policy, the Government will place a contract only with an offeror that the PCO determines to be responsible, or refer the matter to the Small Business Administration per FAR 19.602. A prospective offeror, in order to be eligible for award for this acquisition, must be able to demonstrate it meets the standards of responsibility set forth in FAR 9.104. As a part of this determination, the PCO may utilize the offeror's proposed prices, as well as other information, to determine if the prospective contractor has adequate financial resources to perform the contract. The Government reserves the right to conduct a Pre-Award Survey on any or all offeror(s) or its subcontractors to aid the PCO in the evaluation of each offeror's proposal and ensure a selected offeror is responsible. To verify an offeror meets the responsibility criteria in FAR 9.104-

General Standards, the Government reserves the right to request additional information, to include, but not limited to the following:

(a) Arrange a visit to the offeror(s) plant/facility and perform a necessary Pre-Award Survey; or

(b) Request an offeror provide financial, technical, production, or managerial background information. If an offeror does not submit the requested information within seven working days from the date of the receipt of the request, or if an offeror refuses to provide the

Government access to its facility, the Government may determine the offeror to be non-responsible. If the Government visits the offeror's facility, the offeror shall ensure current data relevant to the proposal is available for Government personnel to review.

M.3.7 Consistency. Each volume of the offerors proposal shall be consistent with the other proposal volumes and shall demonstrate the understanding and ability to perform according to the statement of work in the solicitation. The offeror should provide supporting documentation in sufficient detail to permit a complete evaluation of the proposal. The Government may conduct a crosswalk between the information provided in offerors proposal volumes to assess whether the offeror submits consistent proposal information. Any inconsistency between proposal volumes, which indicates the offeror has an inherent misunderstanding of the requirements or an inability to perform the resultant contract, may result in an offeror being assessed with increased risk in one or more Factors and/or ineligible for award.

M.4 Evaluation Factors. The Government will assess each Offeror in two factors:

a. Factor 1: Past Performance (M.4.1)

b. Factor 2: Price (M.4.2)

The relative order of importance is Past Performance is significantly more important than Price. As required to be defined by FAR

15.304(e)- Evaluation Factors and Significant Subfactors, the non- cost/price factors, when combined, are significantly more important than cost/price.

a. Factor 1: Past Performance (M.4.1)

b. Factor 2: Price (M.4.2)

M.4.1 Past Performance Factor

M.4.1.1 The Past Performance Factor will assess the expectation that the offeror will successfully perform the required effort based on recent and relevant past contract performance information relevant to the requirements listed in L.4.1.2.

M.4.1.2 The Government will conduct a Performance Confidence Assessment to establish a Confidence Assessment Rating for each offeror.

The Confidence Assessment Rating assigned will be based on the offeror's Recent and Relevant performance record and the expectation that the offeror will successfully perform the required effort described in the elements listed below from L.4.1.2. The Government assessment will give a greater weight to the past performance that includes all items in L.4.1.2 (a) and (b).

(a) Build a hardware item to a production level TDP consisting of 275 drawings and requiring the following types of work

12 13

Name of Offeror or Contractor:

PIIN/SIIN MOD/AMD

performance:

(i) Structural steel metal fabrication and assembly;

(ii) Hydraulic equipment manufacturing and assembly; and

(iii) Harness fabrication and electronic component fabrication and assembly

(b) Deliver a hardware item as described in L.4.1.2 (a) at a rate of 10 units per month.

M.4.1.3 Contracts submitted in the Past Performance Factor volume of the offeror's proposal will not be considered if the Government determines them to be not Recent, nor Relevant, or lacking any credible past performance information. Offerors without a record of

Recent and Relevant past performance information upon which to base a meaningful confidence assessment will be rated as "Neutral

Confidence", which is neither favorable nor unfavorable.

M.4.1.4 The Government may contact any of the references the offeror provides, may utilize internal or external sources regarding past contract performance information, and reserves the right to use any information received as part of its evaluation.

M.4.1.5 Past performance which is identified in the offeror's Past Performance Factor volume but is not supported with the information requested in Section L may be determined not Relevant. In addition, if any other proposal volume indicates the cited past performance is not intended to be used by the offeror during contract performance, the cited past performance may be determined not Relevant.

M.4.2 Volume II Price Factor

The Price Factor evaluation consists of the following:

M.4.2.1 Total Evaluated Price: The Price Factor evaluation will result in a determination of the Total Evaluated Price to the

Government. The Total Evaluated Price equals the sum of the proposed prices for all CLINS, as calculated in Attachment 0013-EHP Roller

Production Pricing Workbook.

M.4.21.1 Weighted Average Unit Price: For each CLIN with range pricing, the Government will calculate a weighted average unit price by first multiplying the unit prices proposed for each quantity range by the weighting percentages as stated in Attachment 0013. Weighted average unit prices will be the summation of the proposed unit prices for each range multiplied by the weighting percentages. The proposed price of each such CLIN will then be based on multiplying the weighted average unit price by the CLIN quantities as stated in

Attachment 0013.

M.4.2.2 Price Reasonableness: The Government will also evaluate whether or not the offerors proposed price is reasonable. A price is reasonable if, in its nature and amount, it does not exceed a price which would be incurred by a prudent person in the conduct of competitive business. The Government may make a determination of price reasonableness by any means allowable under FAR 15.404-1-Proposal

Analysis Techniques.

M.4.2.3 Unbalanced Pricing: The Government will evaluate the offerors proposed price for unbalanced pricing. Unbalanced pricing exists when, despite an acceptable total evaluated price, the price of one or more contract line items or ranges is significantly over or understated as indicated by the application of cost and price analysis techniques. Offerors are cautioned that a proposal the Government assesses to be unbalanced as to price, may either be rejected or determined unacceptable for award. See FAR 15.404-1(g)- Proposal

Analysis Techniques for regulations on unbalanced pricing.
